After Li Chu left Dasanguan, Dugu Jingyao stood alone in the courtyard, lost in thought, her mind filled with Li Chu's image. Dugu Jingyao knew very well that she had been attracted to Li Chu from the first time she saw him, but Li Chu already had Zhenzhu by his side. Dugu Jingyao drank alone, heavy-hearted. A subordinate came and told her that Li Chu had arrived with his princess consort.
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Dugu Jingyao reluctantly went to meet them. Zhenzhu took out the Qilin Token and asked Dugu Jingyao to agree to help Li Chu recapture Chang'an. Dugu Jingyao knew the Dugu family's ancestral teaching: once a member of the Shen family presented the Qilin Token with a request, they must agree, even if it meant going through fire and water. So, Dugu Jingyao agreed to Zhenzhu's request.
Watching Li Chu and Zhenzhu walk away hand-in-hand, Jingyao felt a bitter taste in her heart. Leaving Dasanguan, Li Chu and Zhenzhu hurried back to Shuofang. On the way, they encountered Su Ci, who was being pursued. What Zhenzhu had not expected was that Su Ci was already six months pregnant. Zhenzhu took Su Ci back to her residence and took good care of her.
After waking up, Su Ci told Zhenzhu about her ordeal: she had fallen off a cliff and been rescued by a hunter. Su Ci married the hunter, but fate was unpredictable, and two months later, the hunter unfortunately passed away. Su Ci was left with only her unborn child to accompany her. Zhenzhu felt great pity after hearing this and repeatedly comforted Su Ci, telling her not to be afraid.
Because Li Chu had persuaded Dugu Jingyao to send troops to assist, the Emperor, according to his previous promise, reinstated Li Chu as Grand Marshal of the Army and ordered him to lead troops to attack Chang'an. Li Chu discussed strategies with Dugu Jingyao, General Guo Ziyi, Yabgu, and others. Jingyao proposed a plan, but someone insulted her with their words. Li Chu was furious and sternly reprimanded those people, helping Jingyao establish her authority.
When Jingyao left the camp, she gave Li Chu the Dugu family's precious protective mirror for him to use for self-defense on the battlefield. Li Chu, following the original plan, led his troops to attack Chang'an. An Qingxu's forces were repeatedly defeated. When they could no longer hold on, they still did not receive reinforcements from Shi Siming. An Qingxu knew that Shi Siming, who was firmly entrenched in Fanyang, had no intention of helping him.
The Tang army attacked and entered Chang'an. The Emperor was greatly pleased upon hearing this and declared that Li Chu's contribution in taking Chang'an was indispensable. Dugu Jingyao found Li Chu and expressed her willingness to lead the Dugu family to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Li Chu was naturally very happy. Subsequently, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao rode horses together into Chang'an city. The people of Chang'an lined both sides of the road, welcoming Prince Guangping back.
Li Chu was accidentally ambushed, and Dugu Jingyao, in a critical moment, disregarded her own safety to block an arrow for Li Chu. At Prince Guangping's mansion, Zhenzhu patiently took care of Jingyao. The imperial physician stated that the arrow Dugu Jingyao was hit by had wounded her abdomen, and it might be difficult for her to conceive in the future.
